Flatbread, called fougasse, is enjoyed throughout Provence.  Long before
there were ovens, these breads were baked on the floor of the hearth.  This
assertively flavored fougasse can be cut into small squares for an
appetizer or larger squares to be served with a meal.

In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over water and stir with fork to dissolve.
Let stand 5 minutes.  Whisk in 4 tablespoons olive oil.

In separate bowl, mix bread flour, whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
Add flour, one cup at a time, to yeast mixture, stirring well after each
addition.  When dough begins to come away from sides of bowl, turn out onto
lightly floured work surface.  Knead in garlic, olives and 1/2 teaspoon
rosemary.  Continue kneading, adding more flour as necessary, until dough
is shiny, elastic and no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.

Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat all sides with oil.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until dough triples in volume,
about 2 hours.

Punch down dough and place in a greased 13- by 9-inch baking sheet.  Press
and pat dough until it covers entire surface of pan.  Cover with a towel
and let rise until dough reaches top edge of sheet, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Just before baking, dimple dough with
fingertips and drizzle surface with 2 tablespoons olive oil.  Sprinkle with
remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.  Place on
middle oven rack.  Put an empty baking dish on lower rack.  Quickly pour 1
cup boiling water into empty dish and close door.  Bake until bread is well
risen and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.  Remove bread from pan to wire rack.
Brush surface with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.  Cut into squares and serve
warm.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  Cups          lukewarm water
     3/4  Cup           millet
   1      Tablespoon    honey
   2 1/2  Teaspoons     active dry yeast
   1      Cup           all-purpose flour
   1 3/4  Cups          bread flour
   1      Cup           whole wheat flour
   2 1/2  Teaspoons     salt
   1      Cup           raisins
   1      Cup           hot water

2 LOAVES (20 SLICES)       DAIRY-FREE

Millet is a pale-yellow, high-protein grain that is cultivated as a staple
in North Africa and Asia, where it has been farmed for at least 6,000
years.  In Europe and the United States, it is grown mostly for animal
feed, but it is available for your baking needs in natural food stores.

Combine 1 1/2 cups water and millet in bowl of heavy-duty electric mixer or
in large bowl.  Let sit for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow millet
to soften.

Stir in honey.  Sprinkle yeast over mixture, stir and let sit 2 minutes.
Add flours and salt.  Mix with dough hook or knead by hand for 8 to 10
minutes, until dough is silky and resilient.

Meanwhile, put raisins in small bowl, add hot water and let stand until
plump, about 10 minutes.

Drain raisins and mix or knead them into the dough until thoroughly
incorporated.  Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic
wrap.  Let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 1
'A hours.  Punch dough down, re-cover with plastic wrap and let rise again
30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Grease two 8-by 4-inch loaf pans or generously dust
baking sheet with whole wheat flour.  Place dough on lightly floured work
surface and cut into 2 equal pieces.  Shape dough into oblong loaves.
Alternatively, shape it into 2 loaves or 14 to 16 rolls.  Place loaves in
prepared pan or on baking sheet.  Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and
let rise in warm place 20 minutes.  Uncover loaves and, using a spray
bottle, spritz them with water and dust with whole wheat flour.  Make 2 or
3 diagonal slashes in tops of loaves with serrated knife.  Using a spray
bottle, sprirz the oven walls with water.  Work quickly so oven does not
lose heat.

Set pans or baking sheet on middle rack in oven.  Bake 35 to 40 minutes (20
to 25 minutes for rolls).  The bread is done when the crust is dark and
firm and the loaves sound hollow when their bottoms are tapped.  Let bread
cool in the pan or on baking sheet for 10 minutes.  Transfer loaves to wire
rack and let cool completely.

Bread Machine Instructions 1.  Combine ingredients in bread pan in order
specified by manufacturer's instructions.  2.  Process on whole wheat
medium setting.
